• it can create individual citations or complete Works Cited or References pages for APA, MLA and Chicago citation styles.

**IMPORTANT: A critical first step to create a correct citation in Noodlebib is to SELECT A CITATION TYPE.

Look carefully at your source to determine what it is.  This can be tricky for sources from databases or from the web.  (For example, you may find a newspaper article on a website, but you must select citation type = newspaper, NOT citation type = website)

Often classes in the Sciences or Social Sciences use "APA Citation Style".
Check with your instructor to see which style is required for your paper.

• Most research papers require that you "cite your sources"
  
  
• If you use information from a book, magazine, newspaper, website, database or other source, you must provide "citations" or references to those sources within your research paper.
